Alice Ripley couldn’t be happier. Although she is living during the Great Depression, her father’s job as a minister keeps the family fed and sheltered, and Alice loves her job at the local library. For someone who can’t keep her nose out of a book, life couldn’t be much better. When her boyfriend breaks up with her for being too much of a dreamer, and budget cuts cost Alice her job, she questions her life for the first time. To get away from the small-town gossip, Alice travels to Appalachia to deliver books to a library in need. When she is stranded in Acorn, Kentucky, with an interesting librarian, a 100-year-old former slave, a county full of people involved in a feud, and suspicious activity at the local mine, Alice learns a lot about herself and about living a meaningful life.
